In other news, Sound City celebrate the success of Developing Digital and Creative Industry Business

On Tuesday, we celebrated the success of the 75 companies we have worked with and supported via our Developing Digital and Creative Industry Business programme at the stunning Oh Me Oh My venue on Liverpool’s famous dockland waterfront.

Part funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), via the programme we have worked with a range of fantastic Liverpool businesses including LFC fan club The Anfield Wrap, projection mapping and oculus rift pioneers Draw and Code, revolutionary cloud technologists Worpcloud and many more, with the goal of assisting them to grow their businesses via workshops, mentoring and one to support, plus access to national and international contacts via Sound City.

Based on surveys from our wonderful 2015 conference delegates, 78% of delegates secured new business as a result of attending, including sync placements, new jobs, show bookings, securing publishing and record deals, taking on managers and obtaining investment.

We’re now working hard to ensure our conference, Sound City +, is full to the brim with even more insight, useful information, inspiration and brilliant contacts than ever before.
